If you know the name James Bond, you likely know the name Ian Fleming, too.
All the "official" movies about licensed-to-kill Agent 007 note his creator, the novelist whose experiences as a World War II naval intelligence officer informed the spy's adventures. His story has been told before - as in the 1990 TV movie "Spymaker: The Secret Life of Ian Fleming," which starred Bond portrayer Sean Connery's son Jason - but it's revisited in the four-part BBC America miniseries "Fleming: The Man Who Would Be Bond," which starts a weekly run Wednesday, Jan. 29.
Dominic Cooper ("Captain America: The First Avenger," "Mamma Mia!") plays Fleming as an adventurous, romantic pseudo-Bond. "It's really hard to go back and remember what you knew and what you learned doing the job," Cooper tells Zap2it. "I knew that kind of iconic image of him smoking a cigarette, and what he had done and achieved.

A group of actors including Da Vinci’s Demons’ Lara Pulver, is joining the cast of Sky Atlantic/BBC America biopic, Fleming. The upcoming four-part drama stars Dominic Cooper as James Bond creator/author Ian Fleming and, as I reported last week, also has Annabelle Wallis lined up as Muriel Wright, the original inspiration for the Bond Girl. Sky confirms today that Pulver will play Ann O’Neill, with whom Fleming had a longterm on-off relationship before she became his wife in 1952. She is said to have heavily influenced the writer: a year after they wed, the first 007 book, Casino Royale, was published. Mr Selfridge‘s Samuel West is also aboard as Admiral John Godfrey with whom Fleming worked during WWII and who put him in charge of Operation Golden Eye. Godfrey is generally accepted to have been the inspiration for the M character in the Bond books. British actress...
